How do I go about changing a tax return (increase income), that has been submitted, assessed and audited (no problems found by SARS) in a prior year? If indeed possible, would there be any penalties? (Assuming that taxable income remains below the thresh-hold).

Click on Request Correction under the return for that year. You may be told that because there was an audit you would not be able to do this on eFiling in which case you would need to go into a SARS branch to make this change.
